Serena Williams, originally from Compton, had a past romance with Canadian rapper Drake back in 2015. Now, she is happily married to Alexis Ohanian, the founder of Reddit.
Drake refers to Alexis as a “groupie” on his 2022 song “Middle of the Ocean,” expecting no repercussions.
In reaction, Alexis took to X, previously known as Twitter, saying, “The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do. Including being the best groupie for my wife and daughter.”
During Drake’s rivalry with Kendrick Lamar, Serena’s name came up again when Kendrick appeared to address Drake’s past rudeness in a diss track.
According to Complex, Serena finally reacted on “Not Like Us” at the ESSENCE Festival of Culture, calling it her favorite music. She told moderator Cari Champion that it’s her “jam” and inspires her to Crip Walk.
“I love that song. It’s like the hit of the summer. When they play that jam, I’m jamming,” said Williams. “That jam is jamming. You definitely Crip walking in that song. It’s so cool what he did though. Bringing everyone to the stage? That was incredible … I couldn’t believe it.”
